A J, Terri is not a member. SAC is not a qualified charitable organization. Terri will not be able to take a tax deduction. Sorry. But, if he doesn't care about the tax deduction, I'm sure we could get good use from the scope.

Also is Terri a member of SAC? I can ask more questions if necessary but would like to know if it is worthwhile. I believe Steve Dodder has a telescope that was donated to the club and wonder if we should consider doing the same. Or something different.

If so, would such a donation be tax-deductible? If your club doesn't have an interest in the telescope, would you kindly provide me the name and contact information of another deserving organization that might need one. Please let me know.
